Horned God: Late Helladic (12th c. BC). Early deities were linked with animals: bulls and curved horned animals were moon-symbo

In prehistory the animal and human worlds are interactive, and the gods with both, as in Ovid's Metamorphoses, with which Shakespeare was very familiar (see next image, and Gallery 11).
